Special Effects Colored Contacts


Lots of movies and television shows use special effects colored contacts when they are filming science fiction or horror programs. Interview with the Vampire, starring Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Kirsten Dunst, really popularized special effects colored contacts, and when people seek authentic vampire eyes for Halloween or personal use they often site this movie as the one that intrigued them and got them the most interested. Another movie that employed special effects colored contacts was Wolf, starring Jack Nicholson as the werewolf and Michelle Pfeiffer as his paramour.

There are several online stores that sell these special lenses to the public. Most special lenses, whether for vampires, werewolves or other creatures of the night, go for about $150.00 a piece, so you've got to be pretty serious to buy them!

Other special effects colored contacts include spirals, (black and yellow is popular), a stars and moon motif, or simply unnaturally colored irises, such as purple, white or black. If you aren't used to wearing contacts, and even if you are, these lenses can be irritable if you keep them in for long stretches. Movie stars don't really like to wear them even though they look so creepy and fantastical. If there is a very specific style, color or pattern you want to request, you might be able to get it made-to-order from a special effects company, such as the one responsible for lenses used in Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Interview with the Vampire, X-men and X-men 2.
